Description: | Greensand chert semi-circular scraper that has been well used on a hard surface. The dorsal face has been unifacially retouched from the proximal end down both the right and left margins.The colour of the chert is a translucent toffee with much abrasion on both faces. A small patch of cortex remains at the proximal end of the scraper, which suggests that it is a secondary flake. The length to breadth ratio is about 5:4.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar type on page 124, Fig.5.113, Riley Type 6, and on page 141, Fig.5.127, No.10, which are dated to the Later Neolithic.
